Comment:
Hi,
As described in the documentation [1], you can pass four different kinds
of values for `list_display`.
However, what that section doesn't say is that the given list is actually
the order in which Django tries each possibility.
I agree that it'd be useful to amend the documentation to mention
explicitly that the order of the list is the one Django uses.
As for the feature you're proposing, I don't see much value in it, for two
reasons:
1) It's already possible to override a field's display by defining a
method on the `ModelAdmin` you just need to give it a different name
2) Backwards-compatibility would be tricky
So I'm marking this ticket as `accepted` for the documentation issue
(which should be fairly trivial to fix), but I'm -0 on the proposed
change.
Thanks.
